History

Brighton carries a rich and storied history that highlights its transformation from a colonial settlement to one of Melbourne’s most sought-after residential areas. Originally the land of the Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation, Brighton and the surrounding areas were a site of significance for Indigenous Australians long before European settlement. These traditional custodians relied on the coastal environment for food and resources, leaving behind evidence of their presence in the form of shell middens and other archaeological remnants.
